Ant rescue of endangered brood 06:08

The five clips shown here depict rescue of eggs and larva from disturbed brood chambers by wood ants (Formicidae, Myrmicinae, species not known) in Greenville County, South Carolina. Brood chambers were exposed when rotting logs were turned over. The constant use of antennae and contact between ants is very interesting to observe. A chemical alarm signal was probably associated with these mobilizations. If anyone can help to further identify the genus or species of ant shown here, this will be appreciated.
